The Bodies in the Barrels: The Charles Manson of Australia | Part 2
In 1999, police searching for a missing woman unlocked the vault of an abandoned bank in the small town of Snowtown, Australia—and discovered barrels filled with human remains, exposing one of the country’s most horrific serial murder cases. What followed revealed a sadistic cult-like group led by John Bunting that tortured and killed at least twelve victims, many of them vulnerable people targeted under the guise of a twisted “moral crusade.” Huge thanks to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Acorns: Sign up now and Acorns will boost your new account with a $5 bonus investment.
